ABOUT WORK

here are some photo-words about life as it is, captured here in Asia (Siberia, Kazakhstan, India) since 2004... see more on my personal website www.fototext.ru

CAREER

I’m photographer and photoproducer, living in Novosibirsk, Russia. Since 2000 I was involved in many international documentary photoprojects here in Siberia – from Magnum Photos’ exhibition&master-classes to photoexpeditions throughout Northern Asia: Altay, Khakassia, Krasnoyarsk Region (Yenissey River) and than Kazakstan (Irtysh River) … First I was manager only (project director – route design/logistics, budgeting, editing etc) than – plus – writer too and finally started shooting, becoming “three-in-one”:-))... Now I'm running my own NGO, Fototext Foundation, and cooperating with Thailand-based agency - OnAsia - as Member photographer ...I'm watching and reacting and trying to tell stories or FOTOTEXTs - in my shots and photofilms... For me living Here (in Siberia or in Northern Asia or however this Land could be named) means lots of fun. Moving through moving life I'm facing playing light, strange signs, simple patterns, special fates. I'm seeing joy of Life. This Land is smile to me :-))
